Patient's question:
This year, our company union conducted a health check-up. My health check report indicated the presence of a prostatic cyst. I've been feeling that the frequency of my urination has recently increased. I just got married, so does the prostatic cyst interfere with sexual life?Doctor's answer:
Small prostate cysts are not necessarily a problem if they do not interfere with survival or are contagious. Severe benign prostatic hyperplasia can compress the urethra, leading to posterior urethral shortening and decreased urethral resistance, causing symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete urination. These symptoms can lead to anxiety and changes in sexual function, such as reduced libido. Additionally, frequent sexual activity can cause the prostate to become congested, worsening related symptoms. Therefore, it is advisable to moderate sexual activity and avoid excessive frequency. Maintain a light diet and engage in appropriate exercise regularly.
